Why I Ran:

It has been incredibly rewarding to serve South Windsor as a town government volunteer for the past 20 years. I will continue to bring that experience to our town as the Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) faces new challenges ahead. The PZC will be required to develop a new Housing Plan, write a new Plan of Conservation and Development, and address changes enacted in recent state legislation. I will ensure that the Commission supports an economic development-friendly environment that helps hold the line on taxes while we maintain a mix of land uses that include farming, housing of all types, great schools, industry, shopping, recreation, and open space.
